If you frequently watch Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, this segment is probably familiar to you. For those who might not, let’s break it down to you. Jimmy picks a few people out of the crowd, and asks them questions, then The Roots freestyle a song based on the responses and each gets a specific type of rhythm. And The Roots swagged it out.
The best part of the clip was the end, though. Jimmy surprised the band and presented them with a plaque for Things Fall Apart, which just recently reached platinum certification. Congrats to the legendary Roots crew!
